INDIAN MASSACRES i Fort Massac, February 20. Sir—-The following 'is a concisc cuucment of the information I was ena bled to collect, by your orders of the 13th inst. directing my march to the block-house thirty miles below this place; it appears on the 9th inst. that ten Indians came to the house of a man of the name of Clarke, who resided on the Ohio, six miles above its junction with the Mississippi, after loitering about for some time, and with seeming friendship, asking and receiving seve ral acts of kindness from Clark and his family, five of the fellows left Clarke’s and went to the house of Kennedy, a man who lived about 100 yards from, and within the same inclosure with Clark. Immediately on their arrival at Kennedy’s, a whoop was given on the part of the Indiaas, as the signal of at tack, which instantly commenced and almost as soon terminated in the murder of Clark and his wife, and Kennedy and a Mrs. Philips, and her child about four years old who lived with Kennedy two other persons a male and female of Mrs. Philips family are missing one man who was severely wounded, is the only person who escaped, to give an account of this unfortunate catastrophe; strange to be told, not one of the per sons murdered were scalped, though all were most inhumanly butchered the houses pillaged of every thing valu able, and several horses taken oft by the murderers: It appears from the state ment of the man who survived the con flict. that Clark knew the Indians who committed the murder, and stated that they were a party of Chickasaws and Creeks who were in the habit some 12 months since of trading with him,, whilst he lived on the Mississippi. Thiemur ders no doubt, were premeditated, as they were wholly unprovoked and the dress, painting, See. of the Indians on approaching the house, was agreeable to the mode, of hostile savages; In relation to the agency of J. D. Wilcox in the above murders, I was un able to collect any thing that would fix on him gililt, or in my opinion, strong suspicion In addition to the letter, bearing date February 3, 1813, am. signed Samuel Omelvary, sent you. I was only able to learn that Wilcox remarked to Mrs. Humphreys, who lives at the Block-House, that if the difference alluded to in said letter was not settled,- he would write to the agent of the Chickasaws and in all probability scalps would be taken. As to other Indian sign, (than that made by the Indians who committed the murder above alluded to) I was unable to make any discovery that can be relied on. JOSEPH PHILIPS. Col. Anderson. British Niagara, Feb. 26, 1813. Brig. Gen. Winchester. Sir —ln compliance of your order of the 29th of January, directed to Dr. Bowen and myself, I took charge of the American prisoners at Sandwich on the 30th of the same month. On the 15th inst. I was ordered on to this place by Col Proctor; having arrived, I deemed it my duty to report to you whatever transpired with the prisoners under my charge, and the information I was able to collect concerning the other prison ers taken by the Indians. The enclosed report marked (A.) gives you a view of all the prisoners who were under my charge during my stay at Sandwich, their respective com panies, regiments and physical condi tion, along with the names of the Bri tish officers, by whom they were sent to Sandwich. From th s report you will discover that of the fifty-two prisoners, thirteen were at Sandwich. Oy my arrival from Detroit, seven men were sent from Malden by Col. Elliott, one wa^obtain ed by Col. Baubee Sc 33 including those who came over with Dr. Bowen and my self, were sci)t from Detroit by Majpr Muir, the British commander of the American fort there. For the greatest number of our unfortunate fellow-sol diers being sent from Detroit, we are indebted to the exertion's of our prison ers’ fellow-citizens there, who, with an unexampled generosity, when they saw their countrymen driven through the streets like sheep to a market lavished their wealth for their ransom nor was the procuration of our liberty all—we had been almost entirely stripped by the Indians; ^clothes such as the cx igcncw of the occasion permitted to be prepared were furnished us. Enclosed I send you a roll of S 3 pri soners who were sent from Sandwich on the Sth inst. as well as 11 who came on to this place with Dr. Bowen and myself, and of five olm rs who remain edat Sandwich, under the care of Dr. Samuel M’Kcehan, surgeon’s mate se cond regiment, second brigade Ohio volunteers. The prisoners at Sandwich, with the exception of Jesse Green, will all re cover, and much is to be hoped for him. One man died on the Ist inst. Mar tin Wetherford, a private in Captain Bland U. Ballard’s company, first regi ment Kentucky volunteer riflemen. On the Bth inst. col. Proctor ordered me to make out a return of all the pri soners who were killed by the Indians subsequent to the battle, agreeably to best information 1 could collect. The enclosed return marked (B.) was produced by this order I might have added the gallant captain Nathaniel Gray S Hart, deputy inspector gene ral captain Virgil M’Cracken, of col. Allen’s regiment Captain John 11. Woolfolk, your secretary ensign Levi Wells, of the seventh United States’ infantry, and a number of privates, whom I find by subsequent information have been massacred. The memory of past services rendered me by captain Hart’s family, made me particularly anxious to ascertain his fate I flatter ed myself he was alive, and every in formation I could get for some time flattered my hopes but one of the last prisoners who was brought in, told me, that the captain was certainly massa cred he was so badly wounded as to prevent him from walking the Indians took him some distance on a horse, but at length took him off and tomahawked him. About the 10th inst. an Indian bro’t captain M’Cracken’s commission to Sandwich; the paper was bloody. The fellow said he took the captain in trust, but some time after, when stripped and examining him, he found an Indian scalp in his bosom, which induced him to kill him. This you cannot but be assured is an humbug of the fellow’s own making, to screen himself from the odium of barbarity. The captain’s character, and the danger that attended his carrying such furniture in a disas trous battle, gives it the lie. Captain Woolfolk after having been wounded in two places, by some means had got refuge, in one of the French houses on the Raisin—he was discover ed next day, and dragged from his asy lum—he was taken from the house of a Mr. Lasselle, where he said he would give 1000 dollars to any one who would purchase him. JMr. Laseile said it was out of his newer, but he had no doubt his brother would do it, who lived at hand—he directed his owners to the nouse of Ins brother, but as they were on their way an Indian from a waste house shot him through the head. Ensign Wells was taken from my side unhurt. I considered him alive until on my arrival at this place, captain Naggs tells me lie was killed by a Put tawatamic Indian, not long after he was Uken. Many fresh scalps have been brought in since the battle, and dead bodies seen through the country, which proves that others have been killed, whose names I have not been able to find out; independent of those reported to col. Proctor. This, sir, is all the information I have been able to collect concerning those who were massacred. Thesis teen or eighteen mentioned in the re marks to the return made to Colonel Proctor, whose names do not appear, were not known bv those who saw them killed. M jor Graves of tike sth regiment of the Kentucky volunteers, I have been able to get no information of, further than that he was brought to the river Rouge on the 251 h or 26th January in a sleigh; I hear, from our not having heard any thing of him since that, he is no more—and that valuable officer for ever lost to his country. Enclosed (Cj gives you the names of those who from good information arc still in the bush. At a rough guess founded on the few facts I have been able to glean, I may say with some cer tainty that there are still thirty or forty alive with the Indians. The prospect of a speedy return of those poor fellows I think but gloomy, „s colonel Proctor has issued an order enjoining individuals to purchase no more and the Indians have been paid a grcatcr price tor those already deli vered, than the government will give. Cols. Wells, Lewis and. Allen’s ser vants arc acting as valets to Indian chiefs. Captain Hart’s servant is alive, but where lie is, is uncertain. The dead- of our army are still deni ed the rights of sepulture at the time I left Sandwich. I was told the hogs were eating them; a gentleman told me he had seen them running about with sculls, arms, legs, and other parts of the human system in their mouths. The French people on the river Raisin buried captains Hart, Woolfolk and some others, but it was more than their lives were, worth to have been caught paying this last accustomed tribute to mortality. I several times agitated the subject of burying the dead while in company with British officers, but they always answered that the Indians would not suffer it. Before I close this communication,-I must in justice to my own feelings mention those of our fellow-citizens of Detroit, who were most serviceable to us. Colonel Elijah Brush, Mr. Rich ard Jones, Henry I. Hunt, esq. Judge May, Major Mack and Mouse God frey were most active Oliver Willi amson, esq. Mr. Chittenden, Mr. Ten Eyke, Mr. Smart, Dr. Brown, Mr. Mil ler, Mr. M’Danicl, Mons.' Odrain, Lt. Reed, Mr. M’Comb and many others purchased provisions and alleviated their wants; others befriended whose names through ignorance or want of re tention are not inserted. But in paying a just tribute to our patriotic fellow-ci tizens, who for their services to us are driven from their homes, our fair coun try women should not be forgotten— young ladies were frequently seen soli citing their fathers for horses, and when they had gained their point, exchanged their presents for Kentuckians. Made demoiselle Lesselle and Labardie, Miss Scott, M. Hays and others, deserve to be mentioned. The exertions of those worthy peo ple were directed and point given to them by our ever to be venerated coun tryman Augustus B. Woodward, who with unwearied zeal exerted himself in our behalf, at Detroit; he was the life and soul of the remaining Ameri cans, the man to whom they all looked up for succour in the hour of difficulty, for advice on every occasion. This, added to the influence he at first had with some of the British officers, ena bled him to do wonders for us. This gentleman, whose exalted understand ing entitles him to the first considera tion for talents, appears to have no wish separate from the interest of his coun try though eminently qualified to en joy society he gives up all its sweets to shield the unfortunate of his country from savage cruelty and British op pression. In the admiration of our countrymen the deeds of our generous enemies should be remembered. Col. Baubee took an active part in providing for our welfare, and showed that he possessed a generous nature, the highest attri bute of a soldier. Col. Elliott was serviceable in rescu ing some prisoners from the Indians. Major Muir is truly a gentleman, and showed every disposition to serve us. The Rev. Mr. Pollard of Sandwich, visited the hospital frequently, and read the service over Wetherford, when he was interred. Capts. Aikins, Curtiss, and Parrow, who commanded the guard of our prisoners, all deserve my thanks. Dr. Bowen was unwearied in his atten dance upon the wounded, and during our stay studied only to alleviate their pain. He was ordered on to this place with me. Doctor M’Keehan is the gentleman who was sent through general Harrison with a flag of truce, to attend to the wounded: his wounds prevented him from doing much while we remained. He is a worthy man, and I have no doubt but the prisoners will do well un der his care. Wishing you health, and all the hap piness your situation permits, I remain, sir, with great respect, Your obedient servant, ISAAC BAKER; Ensign 2d Reg. U. 8. Infantry. Gen. James Winchester. FROM'TRE RICHMOND ENQ.UIRER. POLITICAL ARITHMETIC. It is highly necessary that the good citizens of the United States should attend to the fiscal arithmetical calcu lations, so often exhibited to public view, by the patriotic opponents of the present war: If one year of war, say they, cost 3Q millions in actual expen diture, and 20 more in the diminution of the price of produce, seven years war will cost, &c. &c. and then these millions of dollars laid upon the ground will cover so many acres of land., or if placed in a straight line, would form a belt like that of Saturn round the world. All this is very instructive, y A the people of this country manifest no gratitude to the learned and labori ous gentlemen, who have devoted their time and talents to the solution of problems no less difficult than impor tant. It is much to be deplored, that this science of political arithmetic was not understood in the year 1776. Wash ington and Franklin, Hancock and Samuel Adams, and many others of the same stamp, though they were reputed to be wise at that time, seem never to have thought of it These men and their adherents, that is to say, 99 in a hundred, of the people, contended for the independence of these United States and encountered seven years of slaugh ter and desolation, and what is still worse, of cnar-mous exfience, to get clear of a demand not equal to the taxes of a small corporatioh. All that G Britain wanted was a duty of about 6 cents on each pound of tea imported into the colonies, Now mark the mischief re sulting from the ignorance of the afore said Washington and Franklin,Hancock and Adams, of a science at this day so well understood. At that time we had only about 3 millions of people in the country. Of these 3 millions not more than 202,327 persons and 89 hundredths of a person (i choose to be precise even to a fraction) drank tea, and the con sumption was exactly three quarters of a pound and 27 hundredths of a quarter of a pound for each person, and a single leaf for the' fraction of a person above stated. Of course the annual tribute, I mean tax, which we should have paid to G. Britain for her maternal care and tenderness in governing us, would have been 18,104 and 43 cents. Instead of paying this little contribution we went to war, because, unfortunately for us, the admirable science which teaches us to estimate to the thousandth part of a dollar the value of national indepen dence, and of ail human right and of all human feeling, was not cultivated in the dark age of’76 us it is in these refined and enlightened times. The conse quence was, that the good people of .his country paid more for the war in one month than vzould have discharged the tax for 1365 years, I month, 27 days, 2 hours and 50 minutes;|a period, which, though not equal to the duration of the British empire, exceeds by 11 years, 11 months, 11 days and 1 i hours, the con tinuance of the present family on the throne of Great Britain. The loss sus tained by the burning of a single town, Norfolk for instance, was greater than the amount of the tax for a whole cen tury. But to expose more completely the of the before mentioned pe riod of 1776 to the derision and scorn of the people of the present day, it is proper to state what is historically true, that this little tax, to get clear of which millions were expended, was a mere shadow. It would not have cost the colonies a cent. The fact was this be fore the dispute arose there had been a duty on all teas exported from Eng land. This duty was of course added to the price of the article, and was ulti mately paid by the consumers in Ame rica. To this the colonies made no. objection. They did not pretend to say that G. B.had no right to impose a duty on goods exported from thence. The ministry of G. B. wanting money, but unwilling to increase the export duty at home, laid a tax on tea imported here. This was objected to strenuously, and if the coloni.s right or wrong could get clear of it by argument w hich costs hut little, and is in truth worth less than it costs, they were very wise upon the true principles of political arithme tic in making the attempt. It was the saving of a good penny. The ministers, then, in order to shew their affection for the colonies; took off the export duty at home but left the tax standing here. In a pecuniary point of view, the only.view which political arithmeticans ever deign to take of any subject, the effect of this procedure was the very same as the repeal of the tax it was at least the same to us. But this great truth the people of ’76 did not aompre hend, and under the visionary and anti arithmetical notion, that the principle and not the tax constituted' the real point ©f controversy, they persevered in their opposition to the pretensions of G. Britain. What the result of the contest was is entirely another affair and docs not come within the scope of poli tical arithmetic at least it is not con venient so to consider it at this time. There was indeed a period of several years during which a hppe might lately have been indulged, that the principles of this great science had some influence in the councils of this country. But all hope on this subject is now extinguish ed by the declaration of war; and mil lions of expencc and debt which might be most advantageously laid out in cla ret, Seve china, patent lamps, fine car pets and plated harness, will be incurred to repel what are called the aggressions of a nation, whose affection for us is as sincere and boundless as it was five and thirty years ago aggressions which are entirely confined to the regulation of our trade, and the impressment of our seamen; to which, as in duty bound, the people es these United Slates, it is hoped, will most patiently submit. A. B. 3. PARADOXES. The Federalists arc, Uteralhj speak ing, the friends of union —Yet no class of men in the Eastern states has thrown out more frequent threats of disunion. The Federalists, according to their own account, are the friends of com merce yet they have uniformly oppo sed ev®ry measure which went to resist the aggressions of Great Britain upon our commerce, or upon our seamen, who are the essential agents of com merce. The Federalists are the friends of energy; yet have they decried almost every measute of the administration which -was calculated to put the powers of the government into motion, or to support the rights of the nation. At one moment they expatiate upon the power and resources of the British empire—at another they depict her as struggling for her existence against the all-grasping power of France. But the most singular of all the para doxes is, that they assume to themselves the title of the friends of tieace whilst every triumph which they gain in the elections is calculated to postpone the period of an honorable peace. What do our enemies count upon On our divisions on the success of the oppo sition. It is evident that the enemy have held back on the supposition that the federal party would acquire the reins of power, and then conclude a peace with them on their own terms.- The only way to obtain an honorable peace is to convince them how fallaci ous are these calculations that there is a decided majority in Congress for war, until we can obtain an honorable peace that it will be waged with spirit and effect; that men, money, and muni tions will be voted with alacrity. It is some serious blow either struck, or threatened to be struck, which will in duce G. B. to weigh the calamities of war against the concessions of peace. Every federalist who is, therefore, returned to the next Congress of the U. S. is the real enemy, and not the friend of peace. Nothing is so likely to defeat the mediation at St. Puters burgh, as an accession to federalism in our public councils. Should the me diation vanish into air, it will be because the enemy entertains a hope that he friends in this country will yet sut4.cn the reins of power, and grant her a peace on any terms. Enynirer^ from the national advocate. Review of an Address to the Republi can Citizens of the stale of New- York," signed by Philip Van Corl landt, and fifteen others. [extract.] The Addressers proceed to enumer ate the moral and political evils which flow from war in general—and which, we are the less disposed to dispute with them, as they are not attributable to the present war in a greater degree than to any other and because we conceive the true questions as to the present war to be—ls it just? Is it necessary Is it expedient These questions being an swered in the affirmative, however hu manity may weep over the calamities it must bring in its train, true wisdom will decide to encounter the worst'of them rather than entail upon posterity the countless evils of submission, and dis grace, and slavery. Unless, therefore, we are prepared to say, that the inde pendence which was achieved at the ex pence of so much blood and treasure is not worth preserving, and of being hand ed down to our posterity—or unless we are prepared to say, that the aggres sions of G. B. do not vitally affect this independence; we must conclude, that the present war is at once just, and ne cessary, and expedient. Unless we are prepared to say that the war of the re volution was unjust, and unnecessary, and inexpedient—that our fore-fathers would have shown more wisdom in' rather bearing’ those i Is they had. Than fy to others that they knew not of Or that the stamp tax and tax upon tea were unworthy objects on account of which to involve the country in the hor rors of war—of civil war—then we must admit, that the present contest is conse crated by every sanction which can'give dignity or add lustre to human exertion, If these were objects worth contending for on account of the principle involved in them, what shall we say to the orders in council, the conditional repeal of which, and which was not carried into effect, expressly reserved the principle upon which those measures were grounded, and held it in reserve to be again Rt loose upon our wide-spread commerce, at the pleasure or caprice of the British government If these were objects worth contending for on account of their principle, what shall we say to the practice of impressment, a grievance greater than any or all those enumerated in the declaration of inde pendence—by which a tribute, not of money, but of blood, is exacted from a free and independent nation; and an odious badge of slavery affixed to it which any people would hardly bear from its own sovereign? If the inva sions of our rights and liberties by the British king and parliament justified and required such a resistance as was opposed to them by the war of the revo lution, is not the same resistance now justified and required by the hostilities of the Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare spares neither age nor sex,” and whose aggressions were evi dently instigated by Britain—by her in sidious attempts to seduce a portion of our citizens from their attachment to that union which is the bond of mutual safety, and the pledge of mutual affec tion and by her spoliations upon our valuable commerce, continued for a se ries of years, under various pretexts, and in d fiance of our pacific and amica ble remonstrances? But notwithstanding these solemn motives for appealing to the God of battles, the Addressers attempt to di minish their for^e by such' arguments as the foilowing Independently of these Considerations, there are others which apply wish great force to our domestic situation. It is well known, that the Eastern States rely upon commei ce and navigation, as the foundation of their wealth, andthe source of their subsistence; while the Southern States look to the productions of the earth. The various systems of non-importation, embargo and non-in ercours'e, and the whole train of co mmercud restrictions, which have been introduced under the influence of southern ascendancy, have pressed with peculiar hard ship upon the northern section of the Unions and have greatly tended to sow the seeds cf discord and enmity between the different mem bers of the confederacy. A war with Great Britain, considering her maritime strength, must operate upon the commercial states wnh ail the severity of commercial restrictions, while the wants of the B lush armies on the continent of Europe would induce that govern ment to keep open the communieation through the medium of neutral anil licenced vessels, and thereby maintain the high price of agricul tural productions. This state of siiings,so de} grading to the Eastern States and so little inju rious to the Southern, ought to have conveved a more forcible admonition to the government, not to rush precipitately into a measure, so un equal in its operation, and so destructive in its tendency.’* Now, we deny that the restrictions upon trade, imposed by our government for the purpose of compelling the bel ligerent powers to respect our neutral rights, have- fire.ssed with peculiar hard shift ifon the northern section. of the Union. As to the embargo, it is well known that Virginia and the Carolinas suffered more from it than any other portion of the country. Their rich sta ples perishedon their hands for want of a market, and the difficulty of effecting payments compelled an universal sus pension of the collection of debts. The non-importation act, if unequal in its operation, cannot be said to press with peculiar hardship upon the northern states, since, if it cuts off one of the
Page 3
branches of their accustomed com merce, it operates as a bounty upon their manufactures, which bounty is paid by the southern and agricultural states. The inequality produced by the ope ration of the trade in neutral and li censed vessels might have been correct ed by the suppression of this trade. But though this measure was recom mended in a special message to Con gress by the President at the last ses sion, yet the bills which were brought in for this purpose, and passed the House of Representatives, failed in the Senate—and,strange to tell, their failure was owing to the opposition of the mal contents in that body: among whom stood prominent one of the present Ad dressers, Mr. Obadiah German. He now comes forward and reproaches the administration for the unequal opera tion of a state of things which might have been corrected, had it not been for the malice and intrigues of himself and others like him. Yes, these interesting bills were defeated by their threat to waste the time in protracted speeches in case an attempt was made t® take the billsup. So much for the consistency of a man who now talks about honor, and public spirit, and patriotism.” We are sensible that we should be wasting our own time, and that of our readers, were we any longer to dwell upon this record of political apostacy. Such ef forts to detract from the fair fame of Governor Tompkins cannot fail to ele vate him in the public esteem—and we hail them as the signal of despair in his enemres, and the harbingers of hope to the friends of the republic. ^^WKiiiiiiitoaE: WASHINGTON CITY.

With pleasure I inform you of the capture of the Caledonia privateer of eight guns, of Nassau, (New-Provi dence) after an action of seven minutes by the United States’ schooner Non such, lieut. Mork. The Nonsuch en gaged the Caledonia and the May Rower (another New-Providence privateer) at the same tjmc—the Mayflower made her escape in the night. Two men were wounded os board the Nonsuch (one mortally); nine men are missing on board the Caledonia. The Caledonia and Mayflower had captured the sloop Morning-1/ght, baupd from Charleston to St. Mary’s also, the Spanish schr. Ranger, from hence to Havannah and the pilot-boat Polly, of Savannah—this vessel was given up. The Nonsuch is injured a little in her sails, masts and rigging. The Caledonia was principal ly manned with negrbes—the second lieutenant is a mulatto. Lieut. Mork recognized several negroes owned in Charleston, one of whom was formerly a pilot. The privateer had Charleston p ipers on board to the 3I st of March, and lists of vessels outward bound from this port and Charleston. The capture and arrival of the Cale donia is confirmed by a letter from Charleston to the Navy Department. RUSSIAN FESTIVAL We did not imagine it possible that the silly idea of celebrating the Russian Victories, or rather the rigors of a Russian winter, would have extended itself as far South as this Dis trict. But it »eems as if Boston is to give the tone and if the party there were to cele brate the ravages of a pestilence in the East In eies, a celebration equally rational with that of the Russian victories, their copyists hers would imitate them. It has been how a week or two since the factious prints in Georgetown and Alexandria have summoned black spirits and white, blue and grey, to "mingle, mingle,” in a Russian Dinner. It appears, however, after all the drilling that tlie’ thing is too absurd and they have determined to postpone the din ner to the sth day of June next; which wise determination reminds one of the decorous course frequently pursued in the proceedings of the Senate of the United States. When a bill is obnoxious, to avoid the name of rejection, 'hey postpone it to the first Monday in May, or day beyond the session. Tjjis is some' times called glviug a measure The Russian Festival has experienced this fate; and what we always believed is demonstrated—that Boston notions are too refined for Southern federalists.

PROPOSALS BY JAMES WEBSTER, of Philadelphia, and JAMES WARRELL, of Richmond, For Publishing by Subscription, A PRINT, Representing Peter Francisco’s gal lant action with nine of Tarleton’s Cavalry, in sight of the whole Troop of 400 men. FROM AN ORIGINAL PICTURE, By JAMES WARRELL, Associate of the Society of Artists of the United States.—From the Retails given by FRANCISCO HIMSELF. The scene represented took place in Amelia county, Virginia, in 1781. Francisco had been reconnoitering, and whilst stopping at a Mr. Ward’s, there came up nine of Tarleton’s caval ry and two or three negroes being told he was a prisoner, and seeing himself overpower ed by numbers, he consented to it, and suppos ing him very peaceable, they all went to the house, leaving the pay-master and Francisco together—He demanded his watch, &.c. which having received, he, in order to secure his plunder, put his sword under his arm, with the hilt behind him. While in the act of putting away a silver buckle, finding he had so favora ble an opportunity, Francisco stepped one pace in his rear, drew the sword with force from under the paymaster’s arm with success, and gave him instantly a blow across the scull. “My enemy,” observes Francisco, was brave, and, though severely wounded, drew a pistol, and at the same moment he pulled the trigger, 1 cut his hand nearly off The bul let grazed my side. Ben. Ward (the man of the House) very ungenerously brought out a a musket, and g- ve it to one of the British told him to make use of that. He mounted the only horse they could get and presented it at my breast—lt missed fire—l rushed on the muzzle of the gun— a short struggle emued— the painter has copied this moment J —l disarm, ed and wounded him— Tarleton s troop of 400 men were in sight. All was hurry and confusion, which I increased by repeatedly hollowing, as loud I could, Come on, my brave beys now's your time we will soon dispatch these few, and then attack the mam body:" The wounded man flew to the troop, the seven were panic struck and fled. I seized Ward and would have dispatched him, but the poor wretch begged for his life--he was not only an ob ject of my contempt but pity. The eight hor^ ses that were left behind, I gave him to con ceal for me. Discovering that Tarleton had dispatched ten more in pursuit of me, Imade off. I evaded their vigilance. They stopped to refresh themselves. I, like an old fox, dou bled and fell on their rear. I went the next day to Ward for my horses he demand ed two for his trouble and generous intentions. Finding my situation dangerous, and surround ed by enemies where I ought to have found friends, I went off with my six horses. I in tended to have avenged myself of Ward at a future day, but Providence ordain ed I should not be his executioner; for be broke his neck ty a fall from one of the very horses.” CONDITIONS The proposed Print shall be engraved in the best style, by one of the fret Artists in the United States.

Slß—After seven or eight years faithful services rendered you as an agent for your Lands in this state, I am induced once more to address you, and also all other non-resident proprietors of land, whose interest is concerned in the state of Ohio. The rate of taxation, since my last general circular, (March 1810) has remained the same to wit: First rate land, gl 25 cents—Second rate, g I—and Third rate, 65 cents per 100 acres and even at this enormous rate of taxa tion, if the taxes are not paid annually on or before the last day of December, 100 percent, on the taxes due is incurred annually for five years; and (if the taxes and penalties are not paid in the intermediate space) the land is to be offered for sale to the highest bidder- The first sale under this law must take place in December 1815 Although these conditions are hard enough, yet they are better than former, which required annual sales in cases of non-payment of taxes, and at best was but an annual sacrifice of land to satisfy the grasp of hungry speculators In addition to the present weight of taxation, the direct taxes of the general government must be anticipated at no distant date, (possibly for the year 1814;) these must require equally your attention with the state taxes. Under circumstances so discouraging to those who hold property in this state, it has ever been my desire to see a plan devised for their relief, especially from the great weight of taxation which must fall on their lands next year; and am happy to state, that I have made arrangements with the assistance of others, for the encouragement of actual settlers and now make the following propositions, the first of which, if acceded to, will completely secure the desired object. PROPOSITIONS: I.—l will undertake to sell land in this state, (being regularly empowered) to those who will make actual settlements, on a credit of from sto 7 years; the payments to be made either annually or all at a given time; the land to be sold at the customary price and it the money is not paid at the expiration of the 5 or 7 years, the whole amount tobear interest from the date of the purchase; and in case of five years, to give 1 or 2, or in case of seven years, to give 2 or 3 additional years for the payment of the principal and interest; which if not paid within the last given time, the land, with the mprovements which shall be agreed to be pul thereon, shall revert to the original proprietor No deed to be made ’till the money is al! paid. The contract to be secured by an article of agreement drawn for the purpose, and the purchaser bound to pay the direct and sta e taxes from the date of purchase till he re ceives his title or the land is forfeited. Remarks. —On these terms, all kind of ’’and will sell which can be settled the terms being better than the Congress sales, the five years would embrace the best land, and the 7 years sale the inferior. If the land reverts to the original proprietor, the value will be enhanced five times the first price in consequence of the improvements, and will readily sell for four or five times its first value. Under either the confirmation or forfeiture cf the contract, the seller will be drawing interest on the whole amount of his lands, clear of the incumbrances of taxes and penalties and the purchaser, if he fails in his contract, will have enjoyed the premises as long as is customary to lease for the shortest periods in this country, though stimulated by the purchase to make better improvements than under lease. Such an arrangement, I am advised, will also prove salutary to our infant but fertile country, and a great accommodation to the industrious poor. My commissions for transacting business on the above terms, will be from six to ten per cent on the amount of sales or such propor tion of the land in lieu thereof as may be agreed on. The expenies of surveying and the taxes till sold being paid by my employer ll.—Should my first proposition not be agreed to, I will undertake the payment of axes on lands, for a certain proportion of the land for a given period, on condition of my receiving a power of attorney to sell my pro portion for the purpose of raising money to paj' the taxes. lII.—I will undertake to attend to old neg lected claims, such as have been sold for the taxes, or abandoned from other circumstances as lost, which may possibly with some difficulty (ora part thereof) be regained by a compro mise, provided a title can be obtained 'rom the original proprietor, on condition of my receiving one half of what I may secure. IV.—l shall continue to undertake to attend as Agent to the Refugee Claims, and request an early attention of any who hold them—to claims in the Virginia Military District—the location of Virginia Military Land Warrants on continental establishment—to claims in the U. S Military District, in the Ohio Company’s purchase, and Congress Lands owned by non residents, on the same terms as heretofore proposed in my former circular; and will un dertake the collection of debts on commission. N. B.—l will purchase from 5 to 6 or 7000 acres of land in the Virginia Military District, lying over the Indian boundary line—or on the waters of Darby, Mill, or Boke’s Creek, or Mad River, below the boundary line, if to be had on good terms. All letters directed to me must be post-paid, and the writer’s place of residence and address given. The condi tions specified in this circular are not in any way to affect the arrangements heretofore made with my old friends and employers un less they wish it. With great respect, I am, Sir, yours, &c. &c TH. S. HINDE. The editors of newspapers at the seats of government of their states would, doubtless, render an essential service to many of their patrons by giving the above an insertion in their papers.

A sovereign remedy for Colds, obstinate Coughs, Asthmas, Sore Throats, and approach va^ Consumptions, and most disorders of the breast and lungs. A single trial will prove, that it restores the determination of the fluids to the surface of the body, and brings on the com mon healthful perspiration; that it dislodges and evacuates the tough viscid phlegm or mu cus, strengthens the weakened vessels of the lungs, sheathes the acrimonious humor which irritates them, and totally discharges it. Thus striking at the root of the disorder, the symp toms are of course effectually and permanent ly conquered, the reverse of common medicines which weaken the constitution, and yigo-i strength to the disorder, for the sake or mo derating for the present some of its painful ettects.

HAMILTON’S WORM-DESTROYING LOZ- ENGES. This medicine bears no analogy whatever to others of similar title so commonly com plained of as operating with violence on the contrary, a particular excellence of this re medy is its being suited to every age and con stitution It contains nothing but what is per fectly innocent, and is so mild ia its operation, that it cannot injure the most delicate preg nant lady, or the tenderest infant of a week old, should no worms exist in the body; but will, without pain or griping, cleanse the sto mach and bowels of whatever is foul or of fensive, and thereby prevent the production of worms, and many fatal disorders HAMILTON’S GRAND RESTORATIVE, Is recommended as an invaluable medicine for the speedy relief and permanent cure of Nervous disorders, Consumptions, Lowness of Spirits, Loss of Appetite, Impurity of the Blood, Hysterical Affections, Inward Weaknesses, Violent Cramps in the Stomach and Back, Indigestion, Melancholy, Gout in the Stomach, Pains in the Limbs, Relaxations, &c. The principal operation of this remedy is in the stomach, restoring the digestive pow ers, and sending forth from that organ new health and vigor into every part of the sys tern it enriches and purifies the blood with out inflaming it; braces, without stimulating too violently, the nervous system; strength ens the secretory vessels, and the general habit; brings back the muscular fibres to their natural and healthy tone; and restores that nutrition which immoderate evacuations had destroyed, and whose loss had thrown the whole frame into languor and debility.
